SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 26. 1808.

FITZSIKKONS was arrested in New York this week for making an agreement to engage in a prize fight. He can be acquitted on the charge easily enough, however, for It can be proven that he had no seiiou* indentions.

GOVERNOR MATTHEWS, with a number of other distinguished Indianians, presented a silver service to the greatest of all battle ships, Indiana, this week. The governor would be glad to present an In diana silver service to the nation next November, bnt like a number of other of the wishes of the governor, he is doomed to disappointment.

A BHUDDIST priest is on his way to Chicago to begin a campaign for the propogation of his beliefs. He says he thinks Chicago will furnish a splendid field for his peculiar religion. This is no doubt true, for Chicago has so little religion of any kind, that something new that New York and St- Louis haven't adopted, will probably take deep root there. "OF course, I don't know how drones /eel in a beehive, but if drones could talk and make speeches I will bet that you could not tell one of their speeches from the speech of a gold standard advocate." This isn't taken from the speech of a street corner argument of the money question, but is an extract from the speech mrrV by Mr. Bryan in Dover, Delaware, this week. And this is the plan of campaign he has adopted in the effort to be elected to the most exalted, most dlgni fled, most responsible position in the gift of any people on the face of the earth!

IF every city would make the experiment that was given a trial in aNew York town this summer, it might result in a thinning out in the number of tramps. In the town of Waterville the citizens established a cam£ this summer where lodging and meals were furnished only to those who would break a certain amount of stone. At the end of twenty-one days the tramps had vanished from the county, and the town could show for its expenditure of $375 broketa stone valued at 1460. The experiment was a success, but tramps will give Waterville a wide berth in the future.

THK inconsistencies of some of the leaders in the present campaign cannot be better lllusttated than by the ca-ies of Senator Carter, of Montana, ex-chairman of the Republican national committee, and John Boyd Thacher, Democratic candidate for

didate is committed to the present gold standard. Mr. Thacher is advooating the election of Mr. Bryan, not because he takes any stock in the Democratic platform, but because its convention was regular, and the party isn't in favor of free silver, anyway.

AT the reoent Methodist, conference in this city a suggestion was made that hereafter the members of the conference should pay their own bills for board, and not accept accommodations from the members of the different churches, saying that under those circumstances the oomplaint that the newspapers did not treat them right would be done away with. The suggestion then made must have taken root, for at a conference in Pennsylvania this week that plan was adopted, and it was decided that hereafter the conference should pay all bills for expenses of the sessions, and make an allowance of a certain amount per day for the delegates attending the meetings. The plan will undoubtedly meet with success, and the suggestion made in Terre Haute will In time prove very popular.

THE passing of the old soldier was never -go emphasized as In the annual report of the commissioner of pensions, made public this week. He says that there were added to the rolls during the year 40,374 new pensioners, and there were restored WJ73 who had been prevtouely dropped, a total of

The execu tion of prisoners and suspected persons by General Weyler seems to be on the increase. One day last week fifty-one insurgents were shot.

A SXFUTATIOX of the charge that the laws are adminstered simply for the benefit of the rich was furnished this week by the case of Coffin, the Indianapolis bank wrecker. He gave himself up to the authorities Tuesday, and was taken to the state's prison to begin his sentence eight years. If judges and juries were for sale he could doubtless have secured the money to purchase his release or get favorable sentence from the court.,

QUEEX VICTORIA this week great historic boundary, her reign now exceeding in duration that of any other En glish sovereign. The longest previous reign was that of the queen's grandfather George III., which began in 1760 and lasted fifty-nine years, three months and four days, this period including the last nine years of his life, when he was demented and the royal prerogatives were exercised by his son as Prince Regent. George III died at 82, but Victoria has equaled the length of his reign at the age of 77. The next longest English reigns are those of Henry HI., fifty-six years Edward III., fifty years, and Elizabeth, forty-four years. The shortest English reign was that of Lady Jane Grey, which lasted but thirteen days. The celebration of this week's event has been deferred, at the queen's request, until June 21 next, which will mark the completion df a reign of sixty years. Such a notable event will doubtless be celebrated with much pomp and ceremony, but better than all that will be the good wishes of all the world for a sovereign, whose life and works place her far above the average of those who have been called to such high places. .. ».

OBITUARY.

GEOBGE B. BBOKAW. V*

George E. Brokaw, one of the oldest and best known residents of this city, died at his home on south Sixth street, last Wednesday morning. He had been feeling badly for a day or two, but when he retired Tuesday night, he was no worse. He was ill during the night, and when Mrs. Brokaw arose in the morning he seemed to be sleeping peacefully, and she did not arouse him. A.ier awhile she went to call him, and to er honor discovered that he was dead. He had evidently passed away without pain or struggle. George Early Brokaw was born in Knox county, Ind., Pec. 25,1824. He was the son of Henry P. and Sarah R. Brokaw, pioneer settlers In Knox county and Vlncennes, and his mother was a daughter of Judge H^ury ftt^bte.. Both afterwards came to TerreUaate and died here, the mother in March 1877 and., the father in June 1879. Mr. Brokaw came to Terre Haute when he was 24 years of age In 1848. His parents, and his brothers, Charles B. and Henry P. and his sister, Mrs. Caroline S. Cornwall also came here and are now, except the parents, residents of this city. His first business engagement was as a clerk in the grocery store of Charles Groverman in a 100m facing the public square. Later on be became a clerk in the dry goods storeof Lucius Ryce and later a partner. In 1855 he went into business a with Wm. B. Tuell and John Richardson. About 1868 he built the store room on Main street between Fourth and Fifth andjbecame the head of the firm of Brokaw Brothers, which hts continued ever since. For more than

yeare the flrm

J« /iAmmlffn /1 a fKn nMQAnf _j

continued in the

same business in the jsame store room, which is probably unprecedented in the history of Terre Haute. Mr. Brokaw was married in 1853 to Miss Elizabeth Cruft, a daughter of the late John F. Cruft, another old pioneer citizen of this county. To them were six children born, of whom two, Miss Lucia and Frank survive. The funeral took place yesterday afternoon at the family residence on south Sixth street^ The sei vices were conductcd by Rev. John H. Blair, of the Washington avenue church. The following were the pallbearers Charles andJHenry Brokaw, Wm. R. McKeen, C. W. Mancourt, L. H. Bartholomew, A. G. Austin and W. C. Ball.

What you want when you are ailing is a medicine that will cure you. Try Hood's Sarsaparilla and be convinced of Its merit.

Apples as Medicine.

Everybody ought to know that thevery best thing he can do is to eat apples just before going to bed. The apple has remarkably efficacious medicinal properties. It is an excellent brain food, because it has mote phosphoric acid iu easily digested shape than other fruits. It excites the action of the liver, promotes sound and healthy sleep, and thoroughly disinfects the mouth. It helps the kidney secretions and prevents calculous growths, while it relieves indigestion, and isone of the best preventives known for diseases of the throat. No harm can come to even a delicate system by the eating of ripe and juicy apples before retiring for the night.

They were brought up at Mtdgnano the Etrurian remains which their father disenterzed dozing more flwi 80 years, to the enrichment of most of the great museums of Europe.

Pierre and Antotoe lived like ban ditti, carrying off women and shooting the men who went to stop or came to arrest them. Pierre fixed his final shot at Victor Noir, at Auteuil, and killed Mm. The eldest, whom I remember as Prince of Musignano, was married to a daughter of his uncle Joseph. He revolted against the pope, was president of the Roman constituent, and such a violent domestic tyrant that his wife ran away to Paris to supplicate the emperor to protect her and her son—the future cardinal.

The Prince of Musignano met this by threatening to publish certain papers of the first Lucien proving over and over again the dishonor of Josephine and

Antoine* the youngest of the four brothers, led a charmed life* 'His. life was spared by the pope at the supplication of Lady Dodlsy Stuart and her moth**. The papal government banished him, and ho went to Greece, where he got into another serious scrApsi In-New fork he had the narrowest escape of being lynohed for forgetting that he was not at Musignano. Thence he went to Mexioo arid Pfcna&uw with a scheme in his head that he and Louis had talked over at Bordentown for making an interoceanio canal. He laid the egg at Columbia Which hi* cousin Lnoien Wyse and De Lesseps hatched 16 years ago. Thus, had the man sent to arrest Antoine shot, instead of being shot by, him, the Panama bubble would not have been inflated in our time.—Paris Letter in London Truth.

The teacher may point to her eye and say, "This is my eye," repeating it sev-. eral times and requiring the pupils to repeat it in unison. Other portions of the body are pointed out in a similar manner, and then ffuniliar objects in the room are in the same way brought to the attention of the children.

Later, wheq they have made sufficient progress in the language, it becomes desirable to teach the different tenses. To accomplish this, a boy or girl is directed to run slowly round the room, when the teacher .and children say in unisoiv "That boy is running," repeating t^. sentenoe several times. The boy is then told to halt, and the teacher and pupils say in unison, "That boy did run again, "That boy is standing stilJ^"

That boy can run," "That boy' is walking," "That boy walks fast," "1 ean walk," "I can run," "I did walk," eta

These and other sentences, as they are spoken, are written on the blackboard by the teacher, and the pupils write them on their dates. Thus they are taught the language and taught to •pell, read and write almost simultaneously. ,,

So If you are out On a western prairie and lose yow way just look for one of these plants aritf member that they always point far the directions indicated. Botanists call this curious plant Selphium la£i£iistunL It is unpretentious in appearance and bears yellow flowers tfeat are not unlike field daisiea. It has a remarkably thin leaf, so thin as to be noticeable even to the untutored eye. The compass plant is really a western flower and is indigenous to the prairies of that section.

The simple and effective method of teaching English to the children of Italians, Portuguese, Polish and German Jews used in the north end schools of Boston might profitably be adopted by other oities which are obliged to faoe the faot that within their borders are thousands of foreign children who know nothing of the customs, institutions or language of this country. A writer in the Boston Transcript thus describes the method:

The children, within a few days after their arrival, are sent to the publio schools, as a rule without compulsion^ and here they are first of all taught the. English language. It is done by a system of object lessons. The teachers in the elementary rooms are young women, as men would not be patient enough to accomplish the best results.

WITHOUT A RHYME-

Kafllafc l—pim CwtalM gtwwl Wm Ha*d to Bva flgatl—t. There are a dosen words in the English language is everyday use for which enterprising people have despaired of ever finding a rhyme. The word "month," for ^example, is one of these. "Silver" is a word it seems very easy to secure a rhyme for, but as a matter of fact, trying to find something to rhyme with "silver" nearly droVe a London •vffrtor of verse insane long ago he advertised in the nef^aiV^s and received but one reply. It -cam' tvuin the master of verbal contortion, W. S. Gilbert, Sir Arthur Sullivan's erstwhile partner, who submitted the word "chilver." He wasn't quite, clear, he said, as to what a chilver mi gbt be, but be had seen the word In advertisements of sales of farm stock and bad an idea, which is oorreot, that it described a species of sheep. "Orange" is another word without rhyme. "Gulf" is also without an English partner,.and "culm" and "cusp" are alike solitary. Many poets who have sought in vain for rhymes to "revenge" and "avenge" will not be appeased when they learn that but two exist— "penge" and "Stonehenga" "Ooif" is now, happily for versifiers, growing obsolete, for there is no word which rhymes with it. "Scarf" has been daringly linked at the end of a line with "fcd&l or "calf," but this is a practice to be discouraged. "Scalp" rhymes only wjth* "Ally" but, like "babe" and "Mtg&abe," it would require much ingenmty to find an excuse for bringing these words into juxtaposition. "False" hagvgri several occasions, by an abuse of poetk). license, been associated with "vslse," though the oorreot French pronunciation of the latter word would destroy the rhyme.

Of the names of places the African town of Timbuktu has long been famous for being without rhyme. The nearest success thai any poet has ever attained in this respect was when in some old verses describing a desert hunt "cassowary" was made to rhyme with "missionary" and "Timbuktu" with "tkin buck too.

Among Ue stereotyped ornaments of hhi eloquence was a favorite reference to^ uie iiiftjestlo mountains and fertile vklleys of green Ireland." Onoe at AthJone, in the very oenter of the flattest part of Ireland, he exclaimed in the peroration of a patriotic speech, "Look around, my friends, on the majestio mountains," etc.—compliance with Which request would have severely tested the optics of his audienoe.

Another time, when boasting at the Corn Exchange of the great attendance at a meeting he had recently addressed at Kilkenny, he outdid Falstaff's 11 men in buckram somewhat after the following fashion: He began by stating the numbers present at the meeting at 60, 000, "and who will deny," he contin ued, 'that the cause must be important and the purpose Strong that oould assemble together these 50,000 men? Let nO knan say that they gathered merely from a feeling at personal regard or curiosity on my account. It would be absurd to suppose that 100,000 men would leave their homes to look at an elderly and rather oorpulent gentleman. No, sir, when that peaceful army of 150,000 Irishmen congregated round me, their presenoe spoke, trumpet tongued, their firm resolution never to desist from the struggle until Ireland should have her own parliament again. "And their multitudinous masses were as orderly and pacific as they were resolute and determined. Ob, with what unspeakable delight do I reoognize in the conduct of those 800,000 noble fellows," eta And thus sailed along, upborne upon the swelling tide of his imagination, each sentence adding at least 56,000 to the previous amount until at last he arrived at, I think, 800,00tt-—Newcastle (England) Chronicle.

The curious affection for old Cremona violins, tenors and basses is by no means a modern fancy. The Stradivari us violin, which my excellent father gave me when I was 16 years of age, was priced at 100 guineas in 1824. But, to go still farther back, we were told by the English newspapers that in September, 1778, there was sold by auction at Dresden the famous violin of Count Traptmannsdesf, grand equerry to the Emperor Charles VI, which he had purchased direct from the celebrated Tyrolean maker, Jacob Stainer. He paid him down in cash 70 golden crowns ftiui undertook to provide the vender as long «s he lived with a good dinner every day, as well as 100 florins a month in bash and every year a new ooat, with golden branden burghs, two (Muihi of beer, Hphttng and fuel, and, in case he should marxy, as many hares as he might require, with 18 baskets of fruit annually for himself and as many for his old nurse (housekeeper). —Phipaon.

A good story of the late Prinoess Alice has come out on the occasion of the striking of a medal for the fishermen at CTahant. She once visited the mint unexpectedly at a time when some medals were being made for noncommissioned officers of the army. While she was being shown through the building, the officials thought it would be a neat thing to stamp her name and th* date on one of the medals and present to her. She accepted the gift and the! burst out laughing. The inseripft» reads, "For long service and good conduct."

The first paper money used in this country was issued by Pennsylvania in 1788. In the early part of that year £15,000 was issued on the credit of the colony, and a few months later £80,000 followed.
